Alexander F. Sklar: I'm in his house in the town of X

On 27 March, the label "The Mystery of Sound" album Alexander F. Sklyar and Oleg Litvishko "City X". C Oleg Sklyar was already a joint album "Lower Tundra" from a story by Pelevin. Here is what about his new album Alexander F. Sklyar, it's actually his monologue ... "City X" gives the impression that the collection of soundtracks for obscure film. A makeweight spy movies or westerns. At least that is from the outside. At a certain moment I thought was consistent with this definition. This album is the appendage - to himself. Try with the psychological trauma of being completed. Alexander F. Sklyar and Oleg Litvishko - City Life X, in my sense, is now a fragmented. Personally, I do not think have a complete idea, which would have pierced through life. Now all divided into segments fragments of reality ... Life strange that today I do not feel whole and suffer. And the only way to maintain the integrity - to create a world in itself. That reality is not broken up into pieces. I asked myself - what am I missing? Not that "not enough" - I, however, feel uncomfortable, because today's world requires me to be extremely low. If something is not - it is possible to create, to invent. And I unknowingly I have decided to create a world in which I'd be good. In fact, my goal - collect only himself, surrounded by the fact that I hold dear. Want to create an inner, ideal world, you will inevitably back to my childhood. I, for example, the feeling of comfort and wholeness to give a child? Adventure Literature - Stevenson, Fenimore Cooper, Edgar Allan Poe. I'm not looking to write a song about the heroes of these books. I just decided to make an album as independent of external conditions. If I could, I would even an album, but since this is not possible, I invited the lovely and talented composer Oleg Litvishko with whom we did the album "Lower Tundra" from a story by Pelevin. I sang the song Oleg, slander, and all that he did himself. But where are the heroes of the songs? Why this British aesthetics, tavern, the smugglers, the spirit of the nineteenth century - are you asking me? I do not know. This may be the fact that a writer to write a novel, keeping in mind only the first phrase begins to compare. At first I was only in my mind the image of the city and - the person in it, which is crazy. It was my personal attempt to replace the real metropolis into a cozy harbor town of dreams, run it eternal rain and in the evening surrounded by the atmosphere Stevenson and others. Hence the tavern "Paradise", pirates and smugglers ... And when I wrote the last song, I realized that ... I have my home. Which I was missing. I invented this City X - is for those who are uncomfortable in the world today that is not at home -. Wide in the abstract, The town has no time limit. Here, time stands still, they all belong to me - writers, poets, musicians - are sitting in the tavern and drink. Along with pirates, smugglers, sea lions. And the choir sing songs with such military pace - like "treason and smuggling." And these songs are like Vysotsky, regret as children of the 1950s, nostalgia, that she had not. War, the real test for men, where she could feel the real Welcome to another city!
